If you are a primary, secondary, or pre-university student in Malaysia who loves mathematics, then mark your calendars for 'The 8th Benedict Goh Malaysia Schools Mathematics Championship 2025', one of the most prestigious mathematics competitions in the country. Scheduled to take place from 22nd to 27th July 2025, this championship promises to be an exciting and rewarding experience for all participants.
A Championship Like No Other
Since its inception in 2017, the Benedict Goh Malaysia Schools Mathematics Championships, organised by the Ngie Hin Enterprise Company, has grown into one of the most respected mathematics competitions in the country. It is not just about winning medals or titles; it is about inspiring a love for mathematics and encouraging students to push their boundaries. The championship has become a stepping stone for many young mathematicians, helping them build confidence and prepare for future academic challenges.
In the year 2025, the mathematics championship will feature 30 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 1 hour and 30 minutes. What sets this competition apart is its close alignment with the Malaysian school syllabus, making it accessible to all students in Malaysia without requiring specialised training. The championship questions are tailored to different difficulty levels according to students' school years, ensuring a fair challenge for everyone. Additionally, the championship questions will be available in three languages: English, Malay Language, and Simplified Chinese.
A Championship with Fairness and Inclusivity
One of the standout features of the Benedict Goh Malaysia Schools Mathematics Championships is its commitment to fairness and inclusivity. The competition is designed to be accessible to all students, regardless of their background or level of mathematical training. The competition questions are carefully crafted to cater to different skill levels, ensuring that every participant has a fair chance to succeed.
The 2025 competition will be conducted in two modes:
- Paper-Based Mode (22nd - 25th July 2025): Participants will sit for the competition in their schools, supervised by their teachers. They will complete their answers on paper but submit them online after the competition.
- Fully Online Mode (26th - 27th July 2025): Participants will attend the competition from home or a preferred venue using digital question papers and online answer sheets. Camera supervision is expected to be implemented, and participants will be monitored by the competition system via their cameras.
Each participating school is free to choose one mode of competition for all its participants.
A Championship Designed for All
'The 8th Benedict Goh Malaysia Schools Mathematics Championship 2025' is a celebration of mathematical talent and a platform for students to showcase their mathematical skills. It is designed to cater to all levels of expertise.
